Donna_Juanita is full of shit.

I spent six months trying to broker a 3-way non-aggression pact between /r/mensrights, /r/seduction and /r/twoxchromosomes. The idea would be that the moderators of all three subreddits would work together such that anyone fomenting a downvote squad to attack /r/twoxchromosomes in /r/mensrights would be banned, by treaty, from /r/mensrights, not 2XC. The same would be true of the other directions. Obviously, getting banned from the place you're attacking is a badge of honor. Getting banned from your clubhouse? Not so cool.

MR and Seduction were totally down. 2XC said they had no problems and refused to participate. Primary obstacle to enactment?

Donna_Juanita.

As per usual, diplomatic problems are easily solved via treaty. As per usual, nobody on Reddit is the slightest bit interested in climbing the stairs of their basement battle stations.

What was her objection?

"We aren't the problem. We're good people and we don't do stuff like that."

No, you conduct your raids out of /r/feminisms.

I'm not yet understanding how a fourth sub sabotaged a non-aggression pact between three other subreddits. Can you clarify?

Know how the IRA was the action arm of the Sinn Fein?

/r/feminisms is the action arm of /r/twoXchromosomes. At the time they even had moderators in common.

    /r/feminisms is the action arm of /r/twoXchromosomes.

That seems terribly hyperbolic. I've never seen a link from /r/feminisms to other reddits to mock or downvote. (I'm not saying it has never happened. I do, however, see those in /r/mensrights all the time).

I fail to see what Donna had to gain from objecting to that, unless she felt the agreement would be made in bad faith.

It is clear that you've never been subject to their downvote brigades.

Not by them, no. But that's irrelevant to whether or not they're "the action arm of TwoX."

Either call me a liar or accept my statement as truth. I really don't care which.

I'm always willing to change my mind, so I asked for more information. However, this isn't nearly the most important topic out there.
